Help on soccing a char ability

PHCC · 12-07-2010

Ok,first off, I'm beginner with soccing, so, try to don't laugh when you see what I did XP.And second, yes, I read the morph's soccing tutorial, but it only gave some basics, like creating a simple enemy.

So, Let's start. I've messed around a bit, and I saw that, to make a char ability, I have to make a thing that will be the thokitem later.Then, I saw that some character ability socs have a state with A_FindTarget action as it spawnstate,so, I put this there too. And now, I'm trying to make the player hide in the ground(like the minus enemy) and after a while, pop-up from the ground.And then I've messed up with all, and it becomes into this:

Spoiler:

AND WELL DONE!!! I tested it in a character and it does..... nothing. (¬_¬")
What should I do to make this thing work?

D00D64 · 12-08-2010

I havent tried this SOC myself yet, but does the S_SKIN have "ghostthokitem = 0" in it anywhere?

PHCC · 12-08-2010

yes, and thokitem = 400, the SOC was in the MAINCFG too.I think I just did something(or all) wrong in the SOC.

EDIT: I changed the SEESTATE to the frame 1995, and now, everytime that I try to perform the ability(thoking), the game crashes.

Morph · 12-08-2010

Well there are two crucial mistakes you made:

1).

Normally a Object can not perform actions during its SpawnState, this flag makes it able to. The SOC editor does not list this flag, and will crash if an Object with this flag is viewed.

So your object will not do anything when it calls its first state UNLESS you add this flag.
You could create a new 1 tic lasting spawnstate that does absolutely nothing and is followed by your current spawnstate, too.
I guess this is something that should be mentioned in the current object creation tutorial...

2.)
You want the player to dig BUT what you are actually doing is you command the socitem object to perform the digging. If the player should perform the digging the player object itself has to be calling a state that contains these actions. This is, however, not possible because the state call of a player object is hardcoded for obvious reasons.
You could use srb2Morphed.exe to make use of A_SetObjectState and force the player object into a state with the specific action. This unfortunatelly won't work either because sending players into long (lasting a few seconds) state cycles is prevented by the hardcoded state calls that will break any cycle.

The ability you want to create can be implemented with source code modification and if I recall correctly something similar has already been done. I think there was a modification in the 1.08 era that made Knuckles go into digging mode if you pressed spinning while gliding.

PHCC · 12-09-2010

So.... The ability that I wanted to perform is actually impossible to do. But I think it was a good start(even if it doesn't actually works). =)

Prime 2.0 · 12-09-2010

Morph, what would happen if the SOC'd object used A_RemoteAction to force the player to call A_MinusDigging constantly, regardless of state? If a second timer object was spawned to use A_RandomStateRange on the previously mentioned object, you wouldn't even have to make a hundred states for it.

I haven't worked with the minus actions, so I wouldn't know the result of this; but, it seems like it would be worth a shot.

PHCC · 12-09-2010

Well, messed up a bit more,and I made the player hides in the ground as I wanted(Thx to Prime 2.0 and Morph). But the problem now is that, when I call the function to the player object, it makes all the players hides in the ground. And one more problem, I can't stop the action, so, when I press the jump button, I go out from the ground, but after a while, I automatically hide in the ground again.

Here is the SOC:

Spoiler:

EDIT:One question: If I had to use A_RemoteAction to call the player object to dig, wouldn't I need to use A_RemoteAction to make the player pop-up from the ground(and then stop the action)?

EDIT2:Well, I removed some states, and it turned into this:

Spoiler:

Now, for an odd reason, it isn't affecting the others players, but it's affecting the crawlas(they can't detect you if you're underground, but can't detect the others players too).And it isn't working correctly, sometimes that I thok, it just doesn't work correct.And I don't know how to change the sprites when digging. I'll post a link with a wad that I usually don't use, that is using the SOC.

http://www.4shared.com/file/zr_hoBgT/Lari2.html

Well, the SOC is almost done!! =)

EDIT3: Another problem, how do I make the player doesn't jump or spin while underground??

PHCC · 12-09-2010

Sorry for double posting but I didn't find a way to make the player not spin and jump while performing the dig. But I think there is a way to move for a certain direction, in a straight line, to the direction that you're aiming. Maybe A_MoveAbsolute or A_MoveRelative should do something like this.Or there are other ways to do this?

EDIT:

Here's my last SOC for this ability:

Spoiler:

I'm stopping because:

*Sometimes that the ability is used, they do this in another player, not me.
*I can't pop monitors once I use this ability.
*Players can jump on the player, and happens something strange....
*When the player dies, he becomes a rabbit(like an enemy).

What If everything were right?

I would add A_CustomPower and set VAR1 = 27 and VAR2 = the time that is used to dig and pop up and the SOC would be done.

Prime 2.0 · 12-21-2010

If you want to make sure that it only happens to the player that used it, try making the custom object use Target for A_RemoteAction instead of looking for the nearest player; it'll already be set to the player that spawned it since it's the spin item. As for the rest of the stuff you've described, I'm interested in taking a look at it; could you send me a copy of the wad so I can mess with it?

Princess Draykon · 12-25-2010

As Prime said, Var1 for your A_RemoteAction states should be -1. That should make it so that it targets the specific player using it, rather than just 'the nearest player'

In general, what you'll find is that the player will handle most actions in unusual ways.

I'm not sure everything that A_PopUp does, but there's a good chance that it's not enough to return the player to 'normal.' It might help to reset the player's flags after using A_Popup. To do that, add another A_RemoteAction call, this time calling A_SetObjectFlags, to return the player's flags to their defaults. (I don't remember on hand, but I think it's '6'?) That'll have the side effect of making the player flash green, but it MIGHT fix the other problems.

That's what I'd try anyway.

PHCC · 12-26-2010

Ok, but there's another problem, that is: When the player is "digging", he can jump and spin as well, and obviously, I don't want this to happen.As for the other problems, I'll mess up more with the SOC to see what I can do.
And Prime 2.0, the link for the testwad is here:

http://www.4shared.com/file/Piw3k10l/Lari2_2.html

Also, I tried to add the digging sprite in this testwad, and make it appear when the player is performing the action, but it didn't work. =(

PHCC · 12-29-2010

Now, the ability is working almost perfectly:

Spoiler:

But there are two problems:

*The first time that you try to do the ability, it doesn't work (Fixed);

*I noticed that the player have to do a complete jump to the ability work properly, if you press jump and then press jump again quickly, the ability won't work.

Draykon, can I ask you a question? How did you make Rosy's ability works only when she's almost touching the ground?

Ah, and a new link for the testwad:

http://www.4shared.com/file/E_p7C6sG/Lari2.html

EDIT: I made some adjustments in the SOC:

Spoiler:

EDIT2: I don't know what I did here, but yeah, there's only one problem lasting:

Spoiler:

The problem that is lasting is the second one.

Prime 2.0 · 12-30-2010

So after working with it for a bit, I found that the issue with the ability not working was because the thok item had MF_Special on; that turns it into a collectible, which meant that it was being "collected" most of the time instead of actually doing anything useful.

...while I was figuring that out, I did a bit of housekeeping in the SOC since it was an unreadable mess previously. Besides organizing and commenting it, I removed the useless A_FindTarget(You can't call targeting actions in the first tic no matter what, and it was set up to find a blue crawla for some reason), took out the "spawn actions" flag, adjusted the timing so I could test different stuff with it more rapidly, removed the delay between A_MinusPopup and A_SetObjectFlags so that being killed the first tic out wouldn't spawn a bunny, and tossed in an A_RandomState for show.

That said, I found two additional issues that I'm not sure can be fixed: If you use the ability while flashing, you can move while it's in progress every use after, and if you use it on spikes or special stage damage, you'll be permanently stuck in a pseudo-flashing mode where you can't be hurt or pick up rings, but don't actually flash.

...anywho, when you've figured out where you want all the states to be, you can use this to move them easily, though you'll have to update the info table and RemoteAction references manually.

Oh hey I know this one, it's the Senku Diamond Cracker bug, I call it the "No Pain No Gain" bug.

I didn't test it yet, but I have an idea. What about if I add a frame with A_CustomPower With var1=2 and var2=0(sure, it'll be called by A_RemoteAction),before the dig happens, so that it will override the actual player's flashing time(when you get hurt) to 0 tics of duration, so, even if you get hurt, every time that you perform the dig, the flash will disappear.And I think that this MAYBE can fix the other problem. =P

Now, I'm going to test it.

EDIT: I'll travel today, tomorrow I'll be here with the last SOC for this ability.

EDIT2:Well, I don't know why it isn't working. See the SOC, isn't it right?

Prime 2.0 *Permanently Banned*	Morph, what would happen if the SOC'd object used A_RemoteAction to force the player to call A_MinusDigging constantly, regardless of state? If a second timer object was spawned to use A_RandomStateRange on the previously mentioned object, you wouldn't even have to make a hundred states for it. I haven't worked with the minus actions, so I wouldn't know the result of this; but, it seems like it would be worth a shot.

Prime 2.0 *Permanently Banned*	If you want to make sure that it only happens to the player that used it, try making the custom object use Target for A_RemoteAction instead of looking for the nearest player; it'll already be set to the player that spawned it since it's the spin item.

Princess Draykon Plush Princess	As Prime said, Var1 for your A_RemoteAction states should be -1. That should make it so that it targets the specific player using it, rather than just 'the nearest player' In general, what you'll find is that the player will handle most actions in unusual ways. I'm not sure everything that A_PopUp does, but there's a good chance that it's not enough to return the player to 'normal.' It might help to reset the player's flags after using A_Popup. To do that, add another A_RemoteAction call, this time calling A_SetObjectFlags, to return the player's flags to their defaults. (I don't remember on hand, but I think it's '6'?) That'll have the side effect of making the player flash green, but it MIGHT fix the other problems. That's what I'd try anyway.

PHCC Too fast for you to see me.	Ok, but there's another problem, that is: When the player is "digging", he can jump and spin as well, and obviously, I don't want this to happen.As for the other problems, I'll mess up more with the SOC to see what I can do. And Prime 2.0, the link for the testwad is here: http://www.4shared.com/file/Piw3k10l/Lari2_2.html Also, I tried to add the digging sprite in this testwad, and make it appear when the player is performing the action, but it didn't work. =( __________________ My YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/PedroHCC10

PHCC Too fast for you to see me.	Now, the ability is working almost perfectly: Spoiler: FRAME 2003 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 100 NEXT = 1998 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 2002 FRAME 2002 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_CustomPower VAR1 = 27 VAR2 = 300 FRAME 2001 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 2000 FRAME 2000 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_SetObjectFlags VAR1 = 6 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1999 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 100 NEXT = 1995 ACTION None VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1998 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 50 NEXT = 1999 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1997 FRAME 1997 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 50 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_Thrust VAR1 = 120 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1996 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 2003 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1993 FRAME 1995 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 100 NEXT = 2001 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1994 FRAME 1992 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 1996 ACTION A_FindTarget VAR1 = 1 VAR2 = 0 Thing 400 MAPTHINGNUM = -1 SPAWNSTATE = 1992 SPAWNHEALTH = 100 SEESTATE = 1996 SEESOUND = 0 REACTIONTIME = 32 ATTACKSOUND = 0 PAINSTATE = 0 PAINSOUND = 0 MELEESTATE = 0 MISSILESTATE = 0 DEATHSTATE = 0 DEATHSOUND = 0 XDEATHSTATE = 0 ACTIVESOUND = 0 RAISESTATE = 0 FLAGS = 2147483657 FRAME 1993 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 0 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_MinusDigging VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1994 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 0 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_MinusPopup VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 But there are two problems: The first time that you try to do the ability, it doesn't work (Fixed); I noticed that the player have to do a complete jump to the ability work properly, if you press jump and then press jump again quickly, the ability won't work. Draykon, can I ask you a question? How did you make Rosy's ability works only when she's almost touching the ground? Ah, and a new link for the testwad: http://www.4shared.com/file/E_p7C6sG/Lari2.html EDIT: I made some adjustments in the SOC: Spoiler: FRAME 2003 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 1998 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 2002 FRAME 2002 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_CustomPower VAR1 = 27 VAR2 = 168 FRAME 2001 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 2000 FRAME 2000 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_SetObjectFlags VAR1 = 6 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1999 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 1995 ACTION None VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1998 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 1999 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1997 FRAME 1997 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_Thrust VAR1 = 64 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1996 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 2003 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1993 FRAME 1995 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 2001 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1994 FRAME 1992 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 1996 ACTION A_FindTarget VAR1 = 1 VAR2 = 0 Thing 400 MAPTHINGNUM = -1 SPAWNSTATE = 1992 SPAWNHEALTH = 100 SEESTATE = 1996 SEESOUND = 0 REACTIONTIME = 32 ATTACKSOUND = 0 PAINSTATE = 0 PAINSOUND = 0 MELEESTATE = 0 MISSILESTATE = 0 DEATHSTATE = 0 DEATHSOUND = 0 XDEATHSTATE = 0 ACTIVESOUND = 0 RAISESTATE = 0 FLAGS = 2147483657 FRAME 1993 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 0 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_MinusDigging VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1994 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 0 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_MinusPopup VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 EDIT2: I don't know what I did here, but yeah, there's only one problem lasting: Spoiler: FRAME 2007 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 1998 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 2006 FRAME 2006 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_MinusDigging VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 2005 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 2003 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 2004 FRAME 2004 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_SetObjectFlags VAR1 = 6 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 2003 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 2007 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 2002 FRAME 2002 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_CustomPower VAR1 = 27 VAR2 = 168 FRAME 2001 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 2000 FRAME 2000 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_SetObjectFlags VAR1 = 6 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1999 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 1995 ACTION None VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1998 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 1999 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1997 FRAME 1997 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_Thrust VAR1 = 64 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1996 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 2005 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1993 FRAME 1995 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 48 NEXT = 2001 ACTION A_RemoteAction VAR1 = -1 VAR2 = 1994 FRAME 1992 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 1996 ACTION A_FindTarget VAR1 = 1 VAR2 = 0 Thing 400 MAPTHINGNUM = -1 SPAWNSTATE = 1992 SPAWNHEALTH = 100 SEESTATE = 0 SEESOUND = 0 REACTIONTIME = 32 ATTACKSOUND = 0 PAINSTATE = 0 PAINSOUND = 0 MELEESTATE = 0 MISSILESTATE = 0 DEATHSTATE = 0 DEATHSOUND = 0 XDEATHSTATE = 0 ACTIVESOUND = 0 RAISESTATE = 0 FLAGS = 2147483657 FRAME 1993 SPRITENUMBER = 0 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_MinusDigging VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 FRAME 1994 SPRITENUMBER = 193 SPRITESUBNUMBER = 0 DURATION = 1 NEXT = 0 ACTION A_MinusPopup VAR1 = 0 VAR2 = 0 The problem that is lasting is the second one. __________________ My YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/PedroHCC10 Last edited by PHCC; 12-29-2010 at 04:20 PM.
